Strikingly surreal, the recent work of Daniel Ramos Obregon can spur a new jewelry fad in an instant. Titled 'Outrospection, The Body and Mind,' it is a series of porcelain body parts that have been outfitted with gold plated brass frames so that they can be worn. Although art pieces first and foremost, the designs are simple and stylish enough to be adopted for more everyday purposes.
A Colombian designer and fashion artist who graduated in 2014 from the renowned MA Fashion Artefact at London College of Fashion, UAL, Daniel Ramos Obregon manages to mesh puppetry and jewelry for creations that evoke out-of-body experiences. Modeled on Polish ballet dancer, Lukasz Przytarski, Daniel Ramos Obregon's Outrospection, The Body and Mind collection is full of grace. It is a metaphorical representation of self-expression and projection.
